法国已经改装了达索“阵风”战斗机内置机炮的软件，作为增强武装部队反无人机系统（C-UAS）能力的一系列广泛措施的一部分。
法国国防采购局（DGA）于2026年4月15日向国民议会表示，“阵风”战斗机的内置30毫米Giat DEFA 791B机炮已经过调整，以便能够在通用反无人机任务中使用，特别是针对伊朗“见证者”型自杀式无人机。
DGA负责人帕特里克·派卢在回答有关法国2024-2030年《军事规划法》（LPM）更新的问题时表示：“我们已经签署了一份合同，修改‘阵风’的火控系统，以便能够用机炮近距离交战‘见证者’无人机。这是武装部队需要的能力，我们迅速与达索公司签约修改了火控软件。”
如派卢所指出的，视差问题（即从不同位置观察时物体的位置或方向看起来有所不同）此前使得使用机炮近距离攻击此类目标变得困难。通过软件算法的优化，飞行员现在可以更精准地对小型、低速的飞行目标进行打击，提高了弹药的使用效率并降低了附带损失的风险。

France has modified the software of the Dassault Rafale combat aircraft's internal cannon as part of a wider raft of measures to enhance the armed forces' counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) capabilities.
The Directorate General of Armament (Direction Générale de l'Armement: DGA) told the National Assembly on 15 April 2026 that the Rafale's internal 30 mm Giat DEFA 791B cannon has been adjusted to enable it to be used in the C-UAS role in general, and against Iranian Shahed-type one-way attack (OWA) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in particular.
“We have passed a contract to modify the Rafale's fire control system to be able to engage Shaheds at close range with the gun. This was a capability that was wanted by the Armed Forces, and we [have] rapidly contracted Dassault to modify the fire control,” the head of the DGA, Patrick Pailloux, said when answering questions on the update to France's 2024 - 2030 Military Programming Law (LPM), published by the National Assembly on 8 April 2026.
As noted by Pailloux, parallax issues, whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, have previously made it difficult to use the gun to engage these types of targets at close ranges.
